Help,

A friend and I found the schematics for a 250 Watt amp.  It is very easy
to build and cheap except
for the power supply.  It requires a 106 V 10 Amp transformer and two
10,000 uF capacitors.  The price of these three things is about $100. 
Anyone know where we can find better prices or devices
from which these components can be salvaged.  Also, 106 seems very close
to wall socket voltage.  Would going straight from the wall without the
transformer be a really dumb idea?  Is the transformer stabalizing the
voltage or what?  Any help would be much appreciated.
